I have also seen this when opening Firefox but not only when the computer starts. For me, it is any time I launch a Firefox after it was closed. It seems to be a matter of lag as the window will read properly if I wait long enough.

Windows 7 sp1, NVDA 17.3 on a fast machine.

Cheers, Sally

Hi!

Yes, Windows 10 Creator's Update, NVDA 2017.3, and browsers are primarily affected by this. With Notepad or Calculator I can't recall ever observing it, but then again I usually launch a browser first thing.

Kind regards,

Felix
